Christmas in July

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Inspired by a few challenges, I decided to make a Christmas card! Always nice to get an early start on them! Card is cut from red Recollection cardstock and measures 5" x 5". Patterned papers are from The Paper Studio Winter Wonderland paper pad and solid paper is Craft Smith Embossed Neutrals.

Cricut Cartridges:

Santa's Village - Santa with stocking is one of the print and cut images. It is cut 3" high. I have always liked the images on this cartridge, but I never bought the Imagine machine. I am happy that the images are available in Cricut Design Space subscription.

Simply Sweet - Circle is cut 3.5".

Anna's Christmas Cards and Embellishments - Sentiment is written on an inserted square shape that was sized to 4.26" w x 2.75" rectangle. This is used inside the card.

Merry Christmas sentiment on front of card is from Mary's "Home for Christmas" stamp set at CARDZ TV.  Love these stamps! Thanks again Mary!

I added a green crinkle ribbon bow that I received from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. For the finishing touch, I added the red rhinestones in the right upper corner.

Celebrate - Fireworks

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hope you enjoyed a wonderful and safe 4th of July holiday weekend! Lunch with my Mom and children was very nice. As always, too much food!

Baseball games and watering plants in my yard have been keeping me busy, with little time for the Cricut. I just had to make some time to play with my Cricut machine! Card is 5" x 7" red cardstock. Papers are from the stash!

Cricut Cartridges:

Photo Fun - Holiday Memories - Firework Frame is cut 4.75" x 6.75". I like this image and think it accents the fireworks! Using the Insert Shapes feature in the Cricut Design Space, I inserted the square and changed it to a 4.60" wide x 6.60" high rectangle to cut the white liner that is placed behind the frame.

Independence Day - Celebrate  -- Fireworks image is cut 3.30" wide. Celebrate image is cut 4" wide.

This will be a project that I can use in a 5" x 7" frame for the next Patriotic holiday. That is if I can find it!!

Challenges:

DL.ART  - July Linky
Jo's Scrap Shack - Ch. 145 Use Red, White, and Blue

Hope you enjoy the fun card! Thanks for your visits and comments!

 

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 185 Down at the Beach

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are back with another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Our talented design team sister Sue has chosen the theme for Ch. 185 Down at the Beach. She asked that we make a project with a beach, seaside theme. Looking through recently added images in Cricut Design Space, I chose to do this beach chair set using pink, purple and white papers.

Cricut Cartridges:

Crazy Cute Cards - Beach Day Card is cut 21.01" x 23.45". Because this is my first time to use the images, I viewed the online handbook for the measurements and instructions. This size includes the chair, beach bag, and envelope. Finished size for envelope measures 5.5". I tried to follow the pictures for assembling the chair. I think it is done correctly--looks ok to me!

Summer Love - Beach Sign is cut 4.5" wide.

When I Was a Kid - Beach Day is cut 4.50" wide. This is used inside the beach bag. I left space for a personal note.

Elephant Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been awhile since I have played with my Cricut machine. After several days of traveling through four states, I was ready to plug in the machine and make a card! My little elephant card measures 5 1/4" x 3 5/8". Papers from the scrap stash were used.

Cricuit Cartridges:

Paisley - Elephant. I welded two of the shadow images together to make an elephant shaped card. This was cut 5.25" wide x 7.17" high. Because this is made for someone special, I used some of her favorite colors.

Thoughts and Phrases - You are my Sunshine is cut 3" high...this is used inside the card.

A little doodling with a black pen and a purple crinkle ribbon from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces finishes the look!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Saturday! It is time for a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! The theme for Challenge 184 is Land of the Free! Design Team sister Peachy asked that we make a project in red, white, and blue. I chose to make a Center Step Card using a pretty sheet of the Paper Studio Patriotic Damask paper. Solid colors are from the scrap stash. You can find the Center Step Card tutorial at SplitCoastStampers.

Cricut Cartridges:

Independence Day - Phrase Stars and Stripes is cut 3" wide. Large Patriotic heart is cut 1.75" wide and the smaller hearts are cut 1" wide. All images are pop-dotted on the card to add dimension.

Stand and Salute - Phrase Let Freedom Ring is cut 4.75" wide. This is used inside the card.

For the finishing touch, I used red and white twine to make bows. Thank you Diana at DL.ART for the pretty twine pack that I recently won.
